94 Genius
When the Stage 4 mage beside Wayne shouted, An Kai was one step ahead of him and took the initiative to activate the [Magic Armor Spell].
A 2.5-meter-tall black armour with high temperature on both feet and right leg appeared!
It instantly wrapped around An Kai!
Then, An Kai released his [Mage Body: Level 3] talent and the identity of an elite NPC.
Two waves of pressure rushed towards the top of the sand dune.
At the same time, a pressure slightly stronger than An Kai’s elite NPC appeared at the same time!
It was the [Overlord] pressure that came from Nurnisius!
Three waves of pressure were emitted at the same time!
Just as the people on the top of the sand dune were about to attack, they suddenly stopped.
Even the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason, frowned.
He put away his disguised aura and retreated with Wayne.
His retreat had exposed the Stage 4 mages.
The malice was also coming from them. Moreover, these people raised their staffs high and were preparing to attack An Kai.
Even some non-mage adventurers took out their weapons and glared at An kai.
When An Kai saw this scene, he smiled.
It was still the familiar smell of the desert. There was no need for much reason. It was a life-and-death battle.
“We’ll see what happens later and choose the time to attack.”
An Kai instructed. Without waiting for Nurnisius to respond, he raised his [Brute Force Staff].
In an instant, a five-meter-wide, pitch-black fireball emitting high temperature appeared!
Without any hesitation, before the mages could finish chanting, An kai had already cast [Fireball].
One flew out, followed by one dark-brown five-meter-wide ball after another!
At the top of the sand dune, the leader of the mages from the Kingdom of Shaq, who was at Stage 4 Rank 3, suddenly saw the huge fireball flying towards him and hurriedly shouted, “Defend!”
Then, he quickly changed his incantation. In less than a second, when the fireball reached him, he shouted, “Water curtain!”
A water curtain that was about five meters in length, width, and height appeared.
Boom!
[Fireball] and [Water Curtain] collided, creating a loud boom.
“So strong! I have the strength of Stage 4, and he actually tied with me!”
The leading Stage 4 Water Mage watched as the water curtain and the Fire Spell disappeared together. Just as he was about to counterattack…
However, he heard a roar of grief and indignation.”We can’t block it!”
Boom!
In an instant, a dark brown fireball descended and hit some people beside the Stage 4 mage.
The three Stage 1 mages from the Kingdom of Shaq were instantly vaporized by the fireball like steam!
And this was only the beginning. In the sky, the dark brown [Fireball] covered the entire sky.
One after another, they bombarded this area indiscriminately.
At the bottom of the sand dune, An kai waved his staff. When he saw that he had successfully suppressed more than 30 people at the top of the sand dune, he cancelled the idea of summoning [Razor’s Mage Tower] and hid underground.
He had been in seclusion for nearly two years.
An Kai was very excited to encounter this kind of battle that did not require any reasoning and could fight to the death with just a look.
The [Brute Force Staff] was also swung with extra force.
How would he know that those guys at the top of the sand dune were not people from the desert?
“How can he… be… So strong?”
Nurnisius quietly stayed beside An Kai, not moving at all.
As for the words about choosing the right time to attack, it was like a dream.
It was because Nurnisius thought that he did not need to do anything at this time.
He looked at the top of the sand dune that was bombarded by [Fireball] and swallowed hard. “If I go up now, I will die. I will definitely die!”
Nurnisius rolled his eyes and took a small step back.
He was far away from An Kai’s casting range. He was afraid that An Kai’s high-intensity casting state would cause an accident.
A wayward fireball might not hurt An Kai, but that was not the case for the dragon.
.
“This… This is the Fireball Spell!”
“This is the Fireball Spell!”
Wayne, who was protected by the Stage 5 Assassin, Mason, looked at the [Fireball] that covered the sky not far away and shouted excitedly.
“This is my pursuit.”
Wayne’s eyes lit up. He ignored Mason’s obstruction and came in front of him, looking at An Kai at the bottom of the sand dune.
“That’s… Is that a magic armour spell?
“Genius! Genius!
” He’s the true genius!”
Wayne pointed at An Kai exaggeratedly and kept shouting as if he had suddenly become stupid.
He suddenly turned around and grabbed Mason’s arm. “Did you see that? That was a genius! He is a true genius!
” He’s a real scholar!”
Mason, whose arm was grabbed, frowned slightly and gently patted Wayne’s hands off his arm. “Your Highness, Master Razor’s Mage Tower is in his hands.”
“Mage Tower? It’s not important!”
Unexpectedly, Wayne opened his mouth indifferently and continued to mutter to himself, “Do you think I don’t know that they want to kill me after getting the Mage Tower?
“Rather than letting my subordinates get it, why don’t I give it to a genius chosen by Ancestor Razor?
“Just because I study knowledge doesn’t mean that I don’t care about the world.
“Forefather Razor said that he has been working hard to become a stage five Blacksmith all his life. He made the mage tower for that reason.
” Now, I’ve met someone who’s more knowledgeable than me. I believe Patriarch Razor will be satisfied with him taking over the Mage Tower.”
Wayne was like an old pedant who had left society and suddenly returned to the mortal world. His words were filled with a mortal aura that looked down on everything.
In Wayne’s eyes, the changes in [Fireball] and [Magic Armor] displayed by An kai were superior to him.
Wayne could honestly admit this.
However, this was Wayne’s idea!
” I think Your Highness is more suitable as the tower owner.” Mason frowned.” Master Razor’s Mage Tower should return to our Shaq Kingdom.
“When I set off, I only received two orders: to protect His Highness and to find Master Razor’s Magus Tower. These two orders are related to the future of the Kingdom of Shaq.”
Ever since they entered the desert, this was the first time they had different thoughts because of a decision.
One of them did it for the country, while the other did it out of respect for the art of magic.
Neither of them was wrong, and it was destined that neither of them would be able to convince the other.
Hearing Mason’s answer, Wayne was silent. Based on his past experience, he didn’t know how to proceed.
In the face of the country’s future, personal reverence seemed a little insignificant.
While the master and servant did not give in to each other, on the top of the sand dune not far away, the group of Stage 4 mages, except for the Stage 4 Rank 3 water mage, disappeared into the terrifying [Fireball].
At this moment, Stage 4 Rank 3 Water Mage already knew that he was going to die.
At the last moment of his death, he shouted loudly, “The First Prince of the Shaq Kingdom is here! Take him!”
“Sigh!”
“Why are people so less reliable than knowledge?” Wayne listened to the last words of the Stage 4 mage.
He felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Before entering the desert, they were even discussing the intricacies of magic together.
The Tier 4 Water Mage was about to say more when a figure whose appearance could not be seen appeared in front of him.
“Traitor, death!”
As the cold words left his mouth, a figure flashed past. The Stage 4 Rank 3 Water Mage’s eyes were filled with fear.
Before he could respond, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen his heel.
Boom!
A [Fireball] also fell at this time, devouring the Stage 4 mage.
